I tend to agree with those who enjoy reading the language used in the original books. For example, I can't imagine reading Sherlock Holmes updated with more modern language.

I think for the most part, the books that have the most issues in Project Gutenberg are the more obscure books where we are frankly lucky that anyone bothered to scan them to begin with. Sure, I would love to have all the books well scanned and edited, but I tend to have a higher tolerance for scan/edit/formatting errors.
